I'm back again! And here's the next chapter of this story - mostly filler, but still fun to write. I will have to update slower, as I have other stories in other archives, and I'm still having a little writer's block for PoK. But don't worry, I will finish this story and TKoL and I won't abandon them. I started them once, and I'll make sure I finish them myself. But until the next update, you'll have to do with this (I apologize if it's bad, blame my writer's block). And now, the review:

Wendy Pierce: He indeed is real trouble. Why else would the Tarantulas flee from him? And thanks for reviewing!

Enjoy!

Brady was running through the jungle, adrenaline rushing through his veins. He only stopped when he stumbled on a small rock on his way to… well, he had no idea where exactly he was going. He just ran away from Paka, dressed himself as Sirocco, and then ran again. he had no idea if Paka was looking for him, so he wanted to be as far away from the old man as possible.

In this moment of rest, Brady could have a proper look of the flora and fauna of his beloved island. He took in details, almost all of them connected to specific memories. Especially the infamous Waka Wakas have played a particular role in some parts of his life. He stood back up, looking at the scene in front of him, the nature in its full glory. Sure, earlier he had been glad to be back in the jungle, but only now he realized this wasn't a dream, but the reality.

Brady cracked a smile. He was back. He truly was back! This felt great! He almost started to cry when he realized he really was standing on Kinkowian grounds again.

Immediately after thinking this, his mind wandered off to Boomer. Man, he was gonna be either pissed or happy to see his brother again. Brady now regretted ever leaving the island, even if it was because of what Mikayla said. And he especially regretted leaving and only leaving a small note for Boomer. A note! Why couldn't he have just told his brother he was going home to mature, why couldn't he have just said it? Leaving a note, what a cowardly act.

He stopped thinking about it when he saw something extremely peculiar. In other words: he saw some very familiar faces. He hid in the bushes as he saw how the four men walked past him. His mind tried to make sense out of this weird scene in front of him. This scene can be described as Tarantula men walking around on the Light Side during daytime.

The more he thought about it, the less sense it made. Why would Tarantulas be walking around on the Light Side? More importantly, why were they doing it while the sun was still shining? The only thing Brady could think of, was that they were going to attack Kinkow Castle. And since nobody knew of this for now, it probably had to be him to stop those Tarantulas from attacking his home.

He made this conclusion when they were already gone, so Brady had to catch up on the Tarantulas. As he was running, he heard a scream. It came from the same direction as the Tarantulas.

Brady started to panic. The Tarantulas were already attacking an innocent villager! As Sirocco, and as Brady, he could not let that happen. He didn't want to be blamed when it turned out that he was there and couldn't do anything to stop it. He also didn't want to feel guilty for not being able to rescue that civilian.

He didn't stop running when he saw the redhead trying to fight the four Tarantula people.
